I think running a vanilla kernel on rh9/rhel3 is not a good idea (this
was what I found with taroon at least) - the red hat kernel has NPTL
(native posix thread library) support patched in, and a lot of userspace
things expect this kernel support to be there. If you run a vanilla
kernel (which won't have NPTL) then you will see problems with threaded
apps.
